1872 SPONSORED WALK

 

The RFFF 1872 SPONSORED WALK will take place at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday 20 May 2012 starting at 12pm. The walk will be 1 mile 872 yards; this will be made up by walking round the perimeter of the stadium, finishing with a final lap of the track inside the stadium. You will be allocated a time slot depending on the initial of your surname i.e. A â?? H then I â?? M then N â?? Z. These slots will be communicated on the Rangers website (rangers.co.uk).

 

Once your sponsored walk form has been completed, either post or hand in the completed form along with cheque made payable to â??The Rangers Supporters Assemblyâ??, Argyle House, Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow, G51 2XD no later than 16th May 2012. Please tick the box provided to indicate whether you are a Small, Medium or Large t-shirt.

 

There will only be 1872 spots available so get in fast as they will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Each participant will have to guarantee a suggested minimum of £100 sponsorship and all proceeds will go towards the RFFF.

 

This could be your chance to walk around the famous Ibrox Stadium accompanied by Rangers Legends past and present whist helping the Club by donating to the Rangers Fans Fighting Fund. Please make cheques payable to the Rangers Supporters Assembly and write â??Fans Fighting Fundâ?? on the back of the cheque.

 

On the day of the walk, Sunday 20th May, all participants should report and register to Rangers Ticket Centre, located at the Govan West Corner of the ground no later than 11am, where they will receive an RFFF 1872 Walk T-shirt and a small union flag. Free Car Parking will be available.

 

Some more info on this:-

 

The concourses will be open for refreshments and it is encouraged for families to come along and cheer on the walkers. There are plans for face-painting and other activities to keep the kids amused and it set to be a fantastic day out.

 

There will be a commemorative plaque going up in the tunnel of Ibrox with all the 1872 participants names on it. Thats worth £100 on its own in my opinion.

 

This is our chance to get our name on the wall of the Ibrox Tunnel forever more.

 

Places are expected to go really fast as this is just a fantastic opportunity for us all to do our bit for our great club.

An excellent initiative. I'm sure it will be a great success!

Just think Frankie, 1872 punters at a minimum of £100 a head gives the fighting fund £187,200 from one event alone.

 

There is no doubt the money is needed as things continue to play out and one delay follows another, so everybody should get behind this as much as possible.

 

For £100 you get your name up on a plaque inside the tunnel of our famous stadium forever more. I was sold on this before that added bonus but it makes it a complete no brainer now.
